Adapting Your Communication Style

Active Listening
Effective communication is a two-way street, and active listening is crucial. Regardless of your partner’s dominant colour, practising active listening involves giving your full attention, asking clarifying questions, and validating their feelings and perspectives.
Feedback and Reflection
Regularly discuss and reflect on your communication styles as a couple. Share insights from the Insights Discovery framework, discuss any challenges, and explore how you can better support each other’s communication needs.
